Purging

The time is drawing very near...

Friends and family are removing pieces of furniture and items from my house.  Each removal makes the place a bit lighter and I find a corresponding lightness in me.  "'Tis a gift to be simple, 'tis a gift to be free"  More items are scheduled to be removed over the next 2 days.  Movers are coming on Thursday and Friday.

I have a small pile of belongings to take with me to the seminary, probably too much, but the rest of my belongings are in storage for a while so I am being safe.  I have my keyboard and prie dieu to add to that pile. 

Fr D. at my parish called last night to prepare me for a small ceremony at Mass today.  The parsih has purchased an alb for me.  I'm expected to say a few words.

August 27th is move in date.  It is less than a week now.  
Nervous?  No 
Excited ? Yes 
Blessed? Absolutely

  1. Hi, Chris.

    Got my first "Delivery Failure" notice on email I sent out to our Toastmasters club. Came here to find out how you were doing and am glad to read that the transition seems to be going smoothly. You should even have some nice weather on moving day. :)
